HR

BIG

Predictions

Decent looking match between two teams that actually did pretty well recently, both teams have been winning most of their games lately and HellRaisers definitely looked better as they 2-0’d teams like Virtus.pro and Gamers2, also beat Heroic, ENVYUS, eFuture and won a map against fnatic. BIG are on fire as well, but their opponents were not nearly as good as the teams HellRaisers faced, they managed to take down Gambit, GODSENT and Rogue in three very close matches, also beat teams like iGame, Tengri and Outlaws, so that’s pretty good, but when BIG had to face stronger opponents like ENVYUS for example, they failed miserably and got absolutely demolished, now given that HellRaisers are better than ENVYUS, and their map pool is way wider than BIG’s, I really don’t see much of a chance for the german side here. That being said, HellRaisers will be my pick this time.

HR vs BIG seems to point to the HR side but for some reason to me they feel like a side that steps it up against better opposition, but could perhaps see their level drop against weaker teams. They are on an insane run of form right now and although BIG are too, the level of opposition HR has faced is off the charts compared to the BIG guys. Big did manage to beat Rogue, Gambit, Godsent, Outlaws and x6tence which is still impressive. HR though should be taking this game, but with the way BIG are playing, I can see them picking up a map here. Big at least 1 map or over 2.5 maps seems a good bet as well as HR winning. I can see BIG taking this maybe, but the maps and pistols etc would all need to go for them.
